After many years of trials that tested their bond, Miaka Yuuki and Taka Sukunami have married and are now expecting a child, which represents the height of their unbreakable relationship. However, not everyone celebrates their happiness; Taka's student Mayo Sakaki secretly loves him and cannot stand seeing them so content. When she discovers The Universe of the Four Gods, Mayo realizes this ancient book is the key to Miaka and Taka's former identities as the Suzaku priestess and the celestial warrior Tamahome. Driven by her own desires, Mayo enters the book intending to replace Miaka as Suzaku's priestess and change their fate to suit her goals. Her actions soon cause severe consequences.
